Want to book a hotel for a cool quarter? (Close your mouth.) Even though just 25 pennies will land you the room, this new promotion celebrates the newly minted US Virgin Islands quarter.

The coin features the bananaquit bird, yellow cedar flower and tyre palm tree, and you can look for all three live with a special offer from the islands' Dept. of Tourism: Seven St. Thomas resorts and four St. Croix locations now offer $.25 room rates for the first three nights of your trip. Cash in fast as travel (hotel+air) must be arranged through BookIt.com before Nov. 2, your island getaway needs to happen by Dec. 15, and the offer's good only while rooms last.

(For fun, I just priced out three nights, single occupancy on a mid-November weekend with a roundtrip ticket from San Francisco and got $640. I wasn't planning any trips, but this one just makes sense cents.)
